Boys Will Be Boys
by Bruce Bergh

NOTE: THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN TO ENCOURAGE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. A FATHER'S RESPONSE TO HIS SON'S "COMING OUT"

There’s nothing like the soft, sweet, gentle touch of a woman
To satisfy the natural desires of a man
A overflowing life of joy she’ll bring him
A partnership designed since the world began

In her heart she’ll carry love and passion
In her womb she’ll bare for him a child
Their deep connection soon becomes a family
A unity that cannot be reviled

But, you tell me, that you were born
With your design based on a different plan
Instead of female companionship
You choose to live your life at the side of a man

You’ve always marched along to a different drummer
An independent viewpoint all your life
Though women wish that they could love and have you
You choose instead to make a man your wife.

Boys will be boys, but some boys, not so much
Straying from a natural way of life
I can’t stand to see you hurt
From sexist slurs that cut just like a knife

It’s your life, and I’m not here to judge you
I truly want to know, and understand
Why you're forfeiting the chance of your own children
And tender love and life with a woman

Are you happy, not just gay
With alternative choices that you’ve made?
Or are you just trying to shock
And justify the actions of your ways?

Boys will be boys, but some boys, not so much
Straying from the natural human plan
Just one life. That’s all you have.
I truly hope you’re happy with your man
Some day maybe I will understand
Be well son, and good luck with your plan
